1 cup steamed cauliflower
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 egg
1 tsp. oregano or to taste
1-2 tsp. italian seasoning
10-12 pieces of pepperoni
5 grape tomatoes sliced
4 mushrooms finely chopped
1/4 cup diced green peppers
2 TBLsp diced leeks or onions
1 TBLsp olive oil
1/4 tsp real salt
1 package Ideal Protein Plain Crepe Mix
1/8 to 1/4 cup Walden Farm Marinara/Alfredo sauce or a low carb tomato sauce


Directions:
Preheat oven to 425˙

Steam cauliflower and let it cool. Mash cauliflower in food processor/blender or rice the vegetable on a cheese grater for desired texture. Combine egg, half parmesan cheese and spices in a bowl and mix. Add Ideal Protein Crepe Mix and mix. Spray baking sheet with olive oil and spread mixture on pan. Shape into a square or round shape. Spread marinara/alfredo sauce on dough mixture. Chop desired vegetables and mix in a bowl with 1 TBLsp olive oil and salt. Spread on dough mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top of vegetables. Cut pepperoni into quarter and spread over top of the pizza. Lightly sprinkle additional italian seasoning and basil on top for desired taste.

Place in oven and let bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
An alternative is to bake the crust first for the 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Then remove, add sauce and toppings to baked crust. Return to oven and broil until the cheese has melted.
